Free chowder at 2014 Park City TransAM

The TransAM crew was at Park City Mountain Resort this weekend for a little “pow wow” and for the 6th stop of the 12th annual Transworld SNOWboarding TransAM event. Upon arrival the new snow had blanketed the TransAM Course and the snow would continue to fall all weekend. Jeremy Cooper and the Park City Mountain Resort crew pulled out all the stops including using snowblowers to make sure that Utah’s top amateur snowboarders had a well groomed “non pow” TransAM course for their attempt to qualify for the TransAM finals. The sponsor village attracted a nice crowd and Transworld SNOWboarding’s online editor, Hondo got on the mic to pump up all the riders. The snow was cleared to perfection off the course, and the features from the TransAM sponsors were ready for action. Special thanks to: Ride Snowboards, Giro, Anon, Analog, Zumiez, High Cascade Snowboard Camp and Muscle Milk.

Guys

Slingshots from the top of the course were in order during the finals of the Transworld SNOWboarding TransAM event at Park City Mountain resort were Seth Karlsrud (1st Place) who had an impressive fun day, used the extra speed to cut through the fresh snow to climb up to the Muscle Milk rail feature and elevate onto the tall Ride Snowboard wall ride. Cameron Gorby (2nd Place) also found some speed in the finals to get him through the Zumiez couch feature and the Giro Jersey Barrier set up. Evan Sheridan (3rd Place) found the podium with his efforts on the Anon double rail and on the Anon stair case feature to qualify for the TransAM finals at Big Bear, CA on March 15, 2014.

Gals

In the finals the Gals were trying to get some points by hitting the Zumiez couch feature then trying to find some speed for the High Cascade Snowboard Camp Marshmallow feature. Hailee Mattingley earned (1st Place) with her smooth riding on the Anon and Analog features at the top of the course. Kim Natural (2nd Place) impressed the judges with her steezy style on the Giro feature and finishing in (3rd Place) Grace Mayernik who made the podium to qualify for the TransAM finals at Big Bear, CA on March 15, 2014
